Best PVP item template, need some suggestion

Hello I'm trying to build the best suit for pvp and since Iv been gone for a while like I said in the previous.I need some help. Money is not a problem for me I was the 3rd richest player on cats before I quit.

The rune beetle carapace does not fit in well with a suit containing both the hat and the pendant. I would recommend replacing it with a crafted tunic. For DCI, you can fit fey leggings in, though it might be harder to find the appropriate gloves/tunic/arms to max out your suit. DCI is a MUST for PvP. For casting, you're just going to have to find a decent 0/3 or 1/3 ring to fit in.

You have too many arties w/bad resists... your suit is going to suffer resist wise = death many a times.

For the FCR, you'll either need to drop the swords, pick up the 1/2 Museum shield, or find a better ring with at least FCR 2. It shouldn't be too hard to find a better ring, depending on what shard you're on.

You're gonna have lots of deathrobes w/little to no DCI. Especially in PvP, you'll be a sitting duck for dexers. Especially if they have HLD, you'll be screwed beyond your wildest dreams =)

Fey leggings are a good option, and the 5 DCI quiver from a Heritage Token. And there is not much need to have EP on the ring if you're using a 2handed weapon that takes too long to disarm, chug, rearm for it to be of any use IMO.

If you would rather carry regs, your suit will be a whole heck of a lot easier to build. But it depends on the PvP you plan on doing... if you're not going to have easy access to a bank to resupply, running w/little to no LRC can be rough.

If you've got the money, get a decent SC mage weapon, but you'll have to make up for the lost magery with either a decent magery ring + alchy talisman with +5 magery or crystalline ring depending on what funds you have. If you go factions, you can use the faction one and take care of the other 3 FCR at the same time.

I would advise against using the 1/2 Chaos shield as a way to build up casting speed due to the high strength requirement. Chances are good that you'll get cursed exactly at the worst time and drop it, in which case you're pretty much dead.

For the lack of late night ingenuity, to add to your thoughts on what you need...I did not see what shield you are using?

If not old school or having played for a while, the Arcane Shield is a pretty easy fix to your problems. 15 DCI, FC 1 and a strength requirement of 20. Other than that, just find a 0/3 ring or what have you with good DCI and you're set. Not too strenuous I would say.

And then you need to get 40%lrc 12%LMC (using the totem of void) and your looking at about 50-60 in the resists from runic armor.

Edit: of course this is a very expensive set up but it allows yo to get 50% DCI with use of the quiver, max casting, SDI, Lmc and whatever MR you can build on pieces, and allows you to chug pots (very useful) as you wont be using a shield of anykind (unless you got a SC with pen weap then you can switch in the arcane shield for the casting and boost to DCI) also once you added a crimson into the fray you base at 9Hpr (5from ring 2crimmy and 2tali)

The cool thing about this new wonder book is that it also has 2 fcr, and some lmc on it + 20++ SDI. So getting a ring with +1 fcr + dci + EP should't be that hard. Does limit you to use wrestling, but hey wrestling is cool, well atleast i like using it for pvp

another cheap replacement if you can't get hold of the glasses, would be the bunny hat aka ancient samurai helm. Has 15dci, lacks the stat bonus and has imho a slightly more useful resist distribution (depends on the rest of your pieces ofc), never breaks and comes blessed. But be warned, it looks real silly....

That's a pretty good suggestion. It would depend on what race you are as well, since I did not see that any where. Some of the good stuff you could use for DCI is elf only. The discussed helm doesn't look great on elves in my opinion, if you are one. Additionally there is the resilient bracer which gives +10 DCI as well as some physical resist. Only reason I suggest that is if you are still having trouble figuring out where you want to fit in all the DCI.

You could use the Inquisitor's Resolution which has FCR 3 and then use a good 1/3 ring. That would give you your cap for FCR. Just fill in the other faster casting 1 that you would want, and you're set.
